Symptoms of Sinus Infection

Sinusitis (commonly known as a sinus infection) is inflammation, either bacterial, viral, allergic or autoimmune, of the paranasal sinuses.

It can be acute (going on less than three weeks) or chronic (going on more than three weeks). Sinusitis is one of the most common complications of the common cold. Sinus Infection symptoms include: Headache; facial pain; nasal congestion; fever; general malaise; thick green or yellow discharge; feeling of facial ‘fullness’ worsening on bending over.

Factors which may predispose to developing sinusitis include: allergies; structural problems such as a deviated nasal septum; smoking; nasal polyps; carrying the cystic fibrosis gene (research is still tentative).
